The Protestant Reformation began in 1517 when a Roman Catholic priest, Martin Luther, challenged some of the teachings of the church. It is not an exaggeration to suggest that the Reformation changed the world, but Luther didn’t want to start a new church. He wanted to make changes in Catholicism, the faith in which he had been ordained. But his suggestions were rejected and he was branded a heretic.
Here are some further resources about the Reformation, which we will celebrate this year at Grace Lutheran Church during our services on Sunday, Oct. 29.
Here are resources from our denomination, The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod

Join us for Camp Discovery Vacation Bible School
“Camp Discovery,” shows kids that they can depend on Jesus as He saves and works through them. Bible truths that point to Jesus, our “True North,” are explored so that kids can discover how He blesses us with courage and wisdom in our everyday journeys.
Over the course of the week, we will look into the Bible, God’s Holy Word, and explore five Bible accounts with snacks, crafts, and games to show how Jesus leads the way in our lives.
Don’t miss out on the fun! You can register using this form or at our church. If you have any questions, you may call 843-871-5444 or reach out via email to deaconess@gracesummerville.org.
